What Are the Reasons for Inadvertent Weight Loss?

Unexplained weight loss, sometimes called rapid weight loss, is defined as an unplanned loss of more than 10 pounds over a specific period of time. This would translate to a person losing 10 pounds in a week or a person losing 20 pounds over a twelve-week period. Though weight loss would typically be associated with dieting, this can also involve exercising and other forms of self-care. This sudden and unexpected loss of weight can occur for various reasons. It may be caused by illness or surgery, or it may be due to extreme hormonal activity such as pregnancy, giving birth, or going through menopause. The sudden and unexpected loss of weight is often associated with emotional stress.

Unexplained weight loss results can also occur due to dehydration. Dehydration can result from many factors. For instance, diarrhea, vomiting, or severe diarrhea can cause a large amount of fluid loss, which makes one feel physically drained. Water loss from the body is commonly associated with bodybuilding and sports such as wrestling or bodybuilding and weightlifting.

Slow weight loss may also result from a slow metabolism or body’s inability to burn off calories and fats. People who suffer from diseases such as diabetes or heart disease may lose weight slowly over time. These conditions may lead to slow weight loss because of reduced calorie burning. Diseases like these also slow the body’s ability to metabolize glucose, which causes weight loss.

People who want to achieve fast weight loss may resort to extreme dieting methods. This is a popular method adopted by celebrities and other famous people. Extreme dieting includes extreme dieting programs such as starvation and strict dieting. The reason why celebrities resort to this method is that it is cheap and easy. However, the problem with this method is that it leads to health problems in the long run. Some celebrities lose weight fast but then gain it back within a short period as they develop health problems due to the extreme diet.

In an effort to avoid unintentional weight loss may develop habits like binge eating, which is commonly associated with binge drinking. These habits affect the digestive system and lead to nutritional deficiencies. It is important to balance your diet with the right amount of food so that your body gets all the nutrients required by the body. Binge eating is usually the result of stress, hunger or when a person feels bored with his/her diet. There are also other factors such as body chemistry, which determine the amount of food that you eat. For instance, a body that is perfectly balanced will not overeat.

It is important to have a healthy lifestyle and to eat properly in order to achieve weight loss results. It is also necessary to consult a doctor regularly so as to maintain the weight loss results. Other than the above mentioned methods, there are also natural methods such as acupuncture, hydrotherapy and various other natural remedies that can help a person lose weight effectively. It is also important to avoid the use of artificial means of losing weight.
